Today was a tough day. We have been having issues with students getting back to school after break, more needs for the house, kids without basic necessities, my power source that I just got to charge my phone and computer broke, I walked 4 miles home carrying 20 pounds of supplies..... With so many challenges, difficulties and needs I was doubting if being here is the right thing. The mountain of obstacles can be overwhelming and I was feeling defeated before even beginning. But then I received the kindest message (see below) from one of our students. I believe it is God's way of saying, "keep going, you are on track".
"i wonder what a price i can offer 2 u more than prayers and thanks in this mothers day since u took all responsibility that my mum wud do, may she R.I.P and i say 2 her that i have a mum who catered 4 me with a great love. Sheila i will keep to pray 4 u in all the days of my life. If it were not 4 u, i would be somebody else than i am 2day."
The tough times will only make you stronger..If it was easy everyone would do it. Good job!!!
